Serapis - a genetically engineered Hybrid?, page 4

On mummies, one source I read long ago wondered if the original beasties were eaten and fakes put in place and sold off as the real thing.

I would presume a nice piece of steak was a bit rare (no pun intended) to most people in Egypt.

It reminds me of the faked cocoa beans that have been found in mesoamerica, the bean hollowed out and then filled with fine sand and sealed with wax

Ah, Aboriginal myth. First off, the case in point you're talking about doesn't, in and of itself, constitute myth. The Aborigines have been dwelling on Australia for at least 40,000 years. Having no writing, they preserved everything through mnemonic oral tradition. Part of this oral tradition is that of the songline - sort of a verbal map of the terrain. Songlines were inherited, traded, etc - they were a big part of Aboriginal myth and culture. Now, we take a hugely ancient culture with a mnemonic system that creates detailed maps to remember through the use of word, song, and dance, and we put this culture on a continent that hasn't changed much at all in the last several million years (barring anthropogenic grasslands via aboriginal burning) and, well, I'm not at all surprised that they're able to point out what the place looked like seventeen thousand years ago. Hell, most of it probably looks identical.

Now if you want to talk about a myth being true, and use the aborigines to back you up, prove to the world that the stones, trees, watering holes and other landmarks along the Songlines are, in fact, the ancestors of the Aborigines and sleeping beings of the Dreamtime. Then we've got a myth equals reality thing on our hands.

While you're at it, you might want to look up the difference between a myth and a legend

Byrd, Hanslune, WalkingFox, here are some Definitions:

Definition: Euhemerism

method of interpretation, known as Euhemerism, that treats mythological accounts as a reflection of actual historical events shaped by retelling and traditional mores

Definition: Ancient Astronaut Theory

Ancient astronaut theories or paleocontact are various proposals that intelligent extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth and that this contact is linked to the origins or development of human cultures, technologies and/or religions. Some of these theories suggests that the deities from most — if not all — religions are actually extraterrestrial beings, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status.[1][2]

Definition: Extrapolation

In mathematics, extrapolation is the process of constructing new data points outside a discrete set of known data points

Take your deflection-tactics elsewhere

Skyfloating,

You realize you're being called on to defend the points made in the OP, yes? You can't just keep pointing back to it whenever you're questioned. We've all read it. Apparently a fair number of us think it's bunk, and want something more, oh, meaty.

Smashing a bunch of bones and wrapping them up together in the shape of a bull is pretty strange. It might not make a lot of sense to us. But this is, evidently, exactly what happened here. Wild speculation doesn't change the evidence at hand.

And again, a "hybrid" creature of this sort would have no recognizable remains. Instead of asking "Why are all these different bones jumbled together?" you would be asking "What sort of hideous monstrosity is this?! accompanied by photos of a hideous man-bull skeleton.

What would be the point of arguing with you and a few others here, as you believe anything related to the ancient-astronaut-theory to be bunk and "impossible" beforehand?

Trying to convince someone who has already made up his/her mind beforehand is a huge waste of energy.

Thats why Im not going to repeat the same points in every thread but simply post new data for the people interested in the ancient-astronaut-possibility.

Whether or not these are indicators of Hybrids or just "works of art", as Byrd proposed, is a matter of interpretation.

And guess what: I know how you will interpret something, before I even post it.

Ah Sky you DID use Von Daniken in the OP, I don't quite understand why you are denying it - or what the point of doing so does for your standing amongst rational beings. I'm sure you have some interesting way of explaining this so we look forward to it.

This article was compiled and written with the help and combination of a chapter in the groundbreaking 1984 book “Eyes of the Sphinx” by Erich von Daniken, the help of Wikipedia-digging and filling in some blanks with logic.

Researcher Erich von Daniken writes (very roughly and loosely translated by me)

Please show me exactly where I said Daniken is a historian. Exactly.
